Thank you very much. The study you included was very insteresting and helpful. It turns out mine is the 1936 version casting.
There was a study conducted by a deceased forum member teledoc regarding the Lionel Torpedo locomotives. it was posted to a different forum. See https://www.modeltrainforum.com/threads/lionels-027-torpedo-locomotives-a-case-study.81986/

Recently aquired 1688e locomotive. It only has number plate on one side has the slots for plate, other side has now slots cut into for plate. Was this something done originally then changed to 2 sides, or was this a mistake that slipped through.
